>>> A feature by Craig Skinner
Ever since Quentin Tarantino first began writing and directing movies he’s been sprinkling references to his favourite films and television series throughout his work. Whether it’s a borrowed plot, a character name, a particular piece of framing or a certain costuming choice, there are enough breadcrumbs leading to Tarantino’s favourite media to possibly leave you feeling somewhat bloated, but also in...

My god, it’s full of stars. And they’re all on the posters for Quentin Tarantino’s next movie, The Hateful Eight, a tale of disparate travellers forced together in a blizzard: Kurt Russell and Jennifer Jason Leigh share a poster (we’ve actually seen that one previously but we include it here for the sake of completeness) and the others are Samuel L Jackson (as a bounty hunter calledMajor Marquis Warren), Walton Goggins, Tim Roth, Michael...

EW.com has revealed the poster for Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight. And it’s Gr8! (Is that still a thing?). The film stars Samuel L Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, Channing Tatum, and Zoe Bell. It centres on eight travellers who seek refuge in a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass during a blizzard.
This first poster shows John Ruth (Russell) and Daisy...

Taking to the VidFest stage at Sunday’s MCM London Comic Con, writer, producer and Raindance Film Festival founder Elliot Grove offered his advice to budding movie-makers on how to get their films in front of audiences.
As film-lovers filled the VidFest area, Grove threw out questions to find out what kinds of people were making up his audience in terms of interests and talents. He soon established that the room was full of aspiring actors,...

In 1994 a young movie maker named Quentin Tarantino forever changed the world of film when he threw the movie making rule book out of the window and created the masterpiece that is Pulp Fiction.
Then aged just 31, Tarantino managed to craft a new way of storytelling, with his disorientating, interwoven, multi-character style, and instantly became not only a movie making legend but a cult figure, who would continue to dominate the movie world with...

There is a throwaway line in the movie How to Lose Friends and Alienate People where Simon Pegg’s character detracts another character that apparently thought that ‘cinema began with Tarantino’. This may be true to some moviegoers. Quentin Tarantino is an auteur who manages to open the eyes of many to the wonder of cinema, but cinema did not begin with him, nor will it end with him, but maybe Tarantino is cinema.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is proving to be the gift that keeps on giving. Thrown back into resurgence after the well-received (500) Days of Summer, he has since been part of many a lucrative hit. Since the 2009 anti-rom-com, Gordon-Levitt has been in films such as Inception, 50/50, The Dark Knight Rises, Looper and Lincoln. To star in those five movies alone is unprecedented, and yet JGL is one of Hollywood’s hottest current commodities.

Quentin Tarantino is the writer and director of some of the coolest, smartest and most entertaining movies of the past 20 years. From 1992’s Reservoir Dogs to 2009’s Inglourious Basterds, he has become a proponent of making movies that go above and beyond most other movies in their genre, mixing together many influences and elements to create powerful pieces of cinema.
Now comes one of the most exciting projects he’s taken on, the upcoming...

It’s hard to miss the controversy surrounding this film, with topical debates about what the film is actually about (see our previous article here). A short synopsis to start this review is quite strenuous to come up with. From the onset, it is a film about a young boy growing up in the 1950’s with two younger siblings and a very conflicted father played by Brad Pitt. Jump to the present day of a shining Chicago, and Sean Penn is this young...
